Delivery and Pickup
The Perennial Farm maintains a fleet of owned and leased trucks to serve you. We observe all state and federal trucking regulations and employ only properly licensed and insured drivers. Trucking services are expensive and require a tremendous amount of complicated regulations. This is all obviously costly. These delivery costs are not built into the cost of our plants and must be recovered in a separate delivery charge. Our drivers are friendly and courteous. Our drivers are pleased to assist you in the unloading of your order upon delivery. Plants are delivered on protected shelved racks.
We can deliver to your job site with a number of different sized trucks without any surcharge.
Delivery racks can be left at your location only if pre-approved. They will be billed for if not returned or arranged for pickup within 15 days after drop off. Racks can not be left at a job site.
